Undercabinet coffee maker? Anyone using one?

[lugoismad]

Has anyone installed an undercabinet coffee maker in their trailer or RV?

My wife hates having to pack away the coffee maker every trip.

Is it secure enough you can go down the road with the carafe in it?

We don't have an under counter in the 5er, but we have one at home in the garage and an on counter one in the 5er, but the carafe will not stay in the on counter one. It always goes in the cabinet and the coffee maker stays on the counter.

I'm thinking about getting one because of our lack of counter space. But I would definitely store the carafe while traveling.

Used to have an old under cab B&D model in our previous RV. Was great, saved counter space and left the carafe in as the model we had enclosed it. When it broke down, the only B&D available was like the one you're looking at. We found it far bigger than the old one and finally got a Kg. Put it on a little rubber mat in the corner of the counter and it never moves while travelling. Does not take up much room.

We had one in our first RV. It was the bomb!!! Unfortunatly our new RV didn't have space to install it so we had to let it go when we sold the first. We would absolutely have one if we could find a place for it. Don't hesitate.

Two negatives come to mind. Some RV's have a void space under the cabinets that contain wiring for lights etc. That void space has a thin piece of paneling to hide the wires, paneling will not support a coffee maker. Second issue a lot of moisture is created by a coffee maker, moisture and wood do not mix well.

We used two of the old style B&D coffee makers over the years. When our last unit died there was no B&D replacement at that time. Since then they have come out with the model that you are looking at. We have no experience with the new model but my wife loved the old style unit in our old RV. As I remember we removed the carafe for travel.

We have a B&D coffee maker in our house. It has the stainless steel
carafe (not glass). We looked at the under counter B&D model several
times for our trailer but at the time we had trouble with other B&D products so took a pass. I have seen on this forum someone wrapped
a piece of Velcro around the under counter unit & the carafe & had no
troubles.

We put one in our first TT - big mistake! The first time we took the TT out, none of the electricity worked on that side of the TT. No lights, no power, nada. Turns out, there were wires running under the cabinet, as noted by edcronin01, and we just happened to drill through one when installing the coffee maker. Turned out to be a $142 coffee pot.

We have had one in our 5er since new. 2002. Works fine. Use it all the time. Very convenient.

Had the old style on 3 different coaches and loved every year (30ish) of it. Carafe went in the cabinet. Sadly new coach won't accommodate one, even though we pulled it out of the last old coach - just in case. Still have it wrapped up and tucked away, just in case there might be another MH in our future.

Mine is mounted outside on rail that is for a barby.....keep in pass-thru storage when on the road.........it's a 3 burner Bunn stainless unit....

We had one in a motor home we previously owned. It worked great and the glass coffee pot stayed snugly in position when we were on the road. Never had any problems with it.

We love our Cuisinart K cup so much, bought one for Cardinal. No carafe...just store in cabinet and bring out ready for coffe, coffe, tea, etc. All choices are good...you get to go ��

If it doesn't work out for you, consider a French press. less storage room, easy to store, as easy to use as a coffee maker, works when dry camping, and makes a great cup of coffee.

Had one in the Class A for a period of time would never do that again, same complaints as others.

We solved the problem of having to store away stuff by clipping a fence around both our counter top and the table when we're traveling,.... I realize the changes I've made does make that easy for us to do, but I believe the basic idea of putting a protective fence around those areas could be accomplished in one way or another on other configurations as well ,.... we don't remove anything from either for traveling, those two have become areas where we actually can put things when getting ready to travel,.... the fence pieces are cut from 5" vinyl post, clipped into place for travel and removed when we get there,.... just something to think about that might work better, cheaper, and easier than replacing your coffee maker,... for us, its certainly better than the trouble and worry of packing away stuff every time we move,...

If your motorhome is small like our 22' , consider the Keurig K15 single cup maker. It doesn't store water like the big, home models do. We just bought ours at BB & B, tried it out, and are sure it will be perfect. It's not much bigger than our small size Mr. Coffee, so storing it away under the sink cabinet will work.
